Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone

by Ella Fitzgerald

on A Perfect Match (1979), Love Letters From Ella - The Never-Before-Heard Recordings (2007)

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
If you can't say anything real nice
Then best don't talk at all - that's my advice

You go your way, I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a kiss - I hope that this
Brings lots of luck to you

Makes no difference how I carry on
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
If you can't say anything real nice
Then best don't talk at all - that's my advice

You go your way, I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a kiss - I hope that this
Brings lots of luck to you

Makes no difference how I carry on
Please don't talk about
Please don't talk about
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
